💜 Tips for Kids

If your children are not big fans of onions, you can slice them very thinly so they soften more into the sauce. My kids enjoyed the pork and egg, but somehow the onions were the only thing left in the bowls.

📝 Amanda's Notes

You can easily substitute the pork with chicken if you prefer. Sliced chicken thigh or breast will work well with the same sauce.

If you don’t have udon sauce, you can use your usual Japanese style rice bowl sauce instead.
